The Katadyn Vario Water Filter is one of the best water filters out there with its benefits of a long life and fast flow in one product. Katadyn makes the Vario filter adjustable for different field conditions with a combined ceramic and pleated technology, and dual piston technology providing the most efficient, fastest flow available.

Involved in the filtration process, you get a high-performance glass fiber filter, an activated carbon filter (for eliminating odors) and a preliminary ceramic filter stage that can be manually added if needed.

Depending on how much you need to filter your water, there are different stages you can adjust it to get the efficiency you need.

The Katadyn line of filters is so efficient and durable, many disaster relief organizations and militaries use Katadyn products for survival and rescue purposes.

The Vario Water Filter just won the distinguished "Industry Award 2006" of the European Outdoor trade show, as well as the "Ispo Outdoor Award Summer 2006"
